1 EVOLUTION Design Wall Series Benchmark Evolution is a flat architectural secret fix insulated panel. The system can be laid vertically or horizontally. Available Lengths Standard length is 1.8 to 12 metres. Panel lengths up to 17 metres are available. Panels less than 1.8 metres long can be supplied and are subject to an extra charge. These panels cannot be end lapped. Biological Benchmark Evolution panels are normally immune to attack from mould, fungi, mildew and vermin. No urea formaldehyde is used in the construction, and the panels are not considered deleterious. 1000mm Cover Width Flatness Tolerance Please Note: The cover width stated above is as standard. Non-standard widths available are in between 600mm and 1000mm in 1mm increments. Non-standard cover widths are subject to minimum order quantities and extra charges. Please contact Benchmark quotations for additional information. Core L(mm) F(mm) Product Tolerances Length Width End Squareness 3mm +3mm Fire The steel outer and inner facings have Class 1 surface spread of flame to BS476-7: 1987, and are Class 0, as defined by Building Regulations. Note: Measurements not to be taken within 100mm of joint i.e. the joint is excluded. Bow is also excluded.

2 Weight Benchmark Evolution panel has an overall typical weight depending upon panel thickness: (mm) Weight (Kg/m²) Thermal Insulation Thermal Transmittance (U value) calculated in compliance with Building Regulations Approved Documents L2A & L2B (England & Wales), Technical Handbooks Non-Domestic Sections 6 (Scotland), Part F2 (Northern Ireland) and Part L (Republic of Ireland - based on the Overall Heat Loss Method). (mm) U-value (W/m²K) PLEASE NOTE: For England and Wales; W/m²K is the U-Value used for Notional Building Wall. This U-Value or better is recommended for compliance and can be seen as underlined in the above table. For Scotland; 0.27 W/m²K is the U-Value used for Notional Building Wall. This U-Value or better is recommended for compliance and can be seen as highlighted in bold in the above table. Acoustics All Benchmark Evolution Panels have a single figure weighted sound reduction Rw = 24dB. Factory Applied Side Joint Seal All side joints have a factory-applied seal fitted into the groove to automatically seal the joint between panels. The panel can be supplied with an open front face side joint or with a closed rendered front face side joint. Materials Steel Substrate S220GD+ZA hot-dip zinc/aluminium Galfan coated metal to BS EN10214: Standard external sheet thickness 0.63mm, standard internal sheet thickness 0.4mm. Coatings - External Sheet Kingspan Spectrum Reverse side of sheet coated with a light grey polyester coating. Coatings - Internal Liner Standard polyester coating developed for use for the internal lining of insulated panels. Standard colour is bright white with an easily cleaned surface. Kingspan Cleansafe coating developed for use where the liner is exposed to foodstuffs and is regularly cleaned. Colour white. Kingspan Aquasafe coating for internal high humidity environments. Colour white. Reverse side of sheet coated with a light grey polyester coating.

3 STRUCTURAL LOAD/SPAN TABLE (To be checked against unfactored design wind-loads) Notes: 1. Values have been calculated using the limit state method in the European Recommendations for the Design of Sandwich Panels (ECCS document No ), taking imposed loads, temperature and creep into account. 2. For each value individual and combined load cases with appropriate load factors and temperatures have been considered. These are detailed under Structural Performance in Building Design Section. 3. The table is for dark coloured panels. 4. The following deflection limits have been used: Pressure Loading L/100 Suction Loading L/ For intermediate values linear interpolation may be used. 6. The actual wind suction load resisted by the panel is dependent upon the number of fasteners used and material of the rail. The fastener calculation should be carried out in accordance with the appropriate standard. For further advice please contact Benchmark Envirocare Technical Services. 7. The allowable tolerance between bearing planes of adjacent supports is L/600, where L is the distance between supports. 8. Load span tables for spans outside of those shown are available from the Benchmark Technical Services department.

4 PACKING Standard Packing Benchmark Evolution Panels are stacked horizontally (with weather sheet upward). Removable hot melt adhesive is laid between each panel. The top, bottom, sides and ends are protected with polystyrene and timber packing and the entire pack is wrapped in polythene. To ensure panels remain in prime condition while stored onsite, the panels need to be stored in a safe, clean and trade free area. Personnel should not walk over packs. Store the panels on a slight slope ensuring any penetrating rainwater drains off and ensure regular inspection the panel packs. Should panel s need to be stored for a period of time in excess of 3 months, please contact Benchmark Technical Services. QUALITY & DURABILITY Benchmark components are manufactured from the highest quality materials to rigorous quality control standards, complying with ISO 9001:2000 standard, ensuring long-term reliability and service life. GUARANTEES & WARRANTIES Benchmark will provide external coating and product guarantees on an individual project basis. The number of panels in each pack depends on panel length and weight. Typical pack height is 1100mm (based on 100mm thick panel). Maximum pack weight 1500kg. (mm) Panels per Pack Sea Freight Fully timber crated packs are available on projects requiring delivery by sea freight shipping, at additional cost. Alternatively, steel containers can be used. Special loading charges apply. SITE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Site assembly instructions are available from the Kingspan Benchmark Field Service Department.

5 DELIVERY AND OFF- LOADING Transportation of Benchmark Evolution Panel packs to site is by road transport (unless indicated otherwise). It is the customer s responsibility to check the site for restrictions (i.e. entrance to site, power lines etc.) and agree a storage area to be used, also to identify the correct type/methods of off-loading/hoisting facilities to be used i.e. crane, crane forks, lifting beam/ slings and airbags, forklift or specialist lifting equipment. Always check the current certification of the crane, crane forks, lifting beam, slings, forklift, or specialist lifting equipment prior to carrying out offloading/hoisting operation (i.e. with correct current SWL Certification).
